Women's Learning Partnership
for Rights, Development, and
Peace.
Liis Kivirand
Backround
Women's Learning Partnership (WLP) is an international non-profit,
non-governmental organization.
Dedicated to women's leadership and empowerment.
Cooperation with 18 autonomous partner organizations in the Global
South, particularly in Muslim-majority societies.
WLP works to empower women to transform their families,
communities, and societies.
Primary objective is to increase the number of women taking on
leadership and decision-making roles at family, community, and
national levels, and to improve the effectiveness of feminist social
movements in Muslim-majority societies and globally by
strengthening the capacity of our partner organizations.
Since its founding WLP has established a
partnership model that allows for a geometric
increase in the human and material resources
available to partner organizations, maximum use
of shared learning across regions, and
increased impact of collective networking and
solidarity capabilities.
The Partnership is based on a relationship of
intense and continuous communication and
ongoing cooperation in the conception,
development, implementation, monitoring, and
evaluation of joint programs.
The organization's president is Mahnaz Afkhami.
Management and administration
WLP's Board of Directors is made up of a diverse group of
leading academics and NGO directors.
WLP has an International Advisory Council that includes
heads of United Nations agencies, leaders of international
organizations, and scholars and activists representing
diverse professional, cultural, and religious perspectives.
The international experts help WLP analyze the social,
cultural, political, and gender implications of its programs
and fine-tune them accordingly.
Funding
WLP's annual operating budget is $1.5
million USD.
The organization has received funding from
the Ford Foundation, Oxfam Novib,
Canadian International Development
Agency, Global Fund for Women, Open
Society Institute, United Nations Population
Fund (UNFPA), and the Shaler Adams
Foundation.
Mission
WLP's mission is to advance communication and
cooperation among and between the women of the world in
order to protect human rights, facilitate sustainable
development, and promote peace.
WLP links those with access to resources, knowledge, and
technologies to those without, and augments the voices and
visions of the world's resource-poor majority.
Organisation believes that dialogue across boundaries of
culture, class, gender, generation, and nation is essential for
achieving socially equitable and environmentally sound
development.
To secure a healthy, safe, and democratic
environment for all, WLP works to advance
gender equity, involve men and boys in
promoting gender parity, and facilitate the
exchange of grassroots strategies within and
across different cultures.
By instituting a viable knowledge and learning
framework, WLP's programs provide women
and girls of the Global South with the technical
knowledge and practical skills needed to
participate in the global dialogue about rights,
development, and peace.

WLP International in the USA and 22
autonomous and independent partner
organizations based in Afghanistan, Bahrain,
Brazil, Cameroon, Egypt, India, Iran, Indonesia,
Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon,

development). The ENP goes beyond existing relationships to offer political association and deeper economic integration, increased mobility and more people-to- people contacts. The level of ambition of the relationship depends on the extent to which these values are shared. Some examples which steps ENP has made in the field of human rights and which are represented in the report of implementation of the European Neighbourhood Policy about Eastern Partnership: The adherence to the shared values of democracy, rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms is the very foundation of the Eastern Partnership. Significant steps have been taken to strengthen bilateral dialogues on these matters. Since July 2009 three rounds of Human Rights Dialogue have taken place with Georgia.

Education

concentrate, as to understand. It can help build a moral or ethical framework, and help oneself form an individual worldview. Even an untraveled child, sitting at home, can be transported by a book into any place or time. Fantasy and facts weave together, but the result is almost an unmitigated improvement. If a bookworm grows up to be antisocial or worse, it is not because of too much reading, but because something else was lacking in the education or caregiving. Hands-on learning is another factor difficult to overrate. Imagine trying to learn to draw from listening to a lecture. You must draw, draw, draw, and with time and tutoring, will improve. This is a truism, just like saying "reading is valuable." I imagine nobody complains about children spending too much time working. If anything the contrary complaint rings loudly. What I don't begin to know is the ideal breakdown, according to age, of reading, listening to instruction, and working or hands-on time.
